Super Members Council (SMC) modelling shows about 530,000 teens would miss out on the contributions – an increase of 25,000 compared with two years ago. McDonald's is among the businesses that do not pay super to part-time workers under 18. "More than half a million young Australians are missing out on a workplace right to super that 17 million Australians have, and that's just not fair," Super Members Council chief executive Misha Schubert said. Super Members Council Chief Executive Misha Schubert said under-18 workers were being unfairly penalised. Scrapping the exclusion could give the next generation of young women "a fairer start to their retirement savings", she added.
